Tufin recognized for its Innovation, Management Team and
Execution of Strategy
May 25, 2010- Tufin Technologies today announced that it has
been named a 2010 Hot 100 EMEA finalist for the Red Herring 100
Europe 2010 Awards, a prestigious list honoring the year's 100 most
innovative and promising private technology ventures in the EMEA
region. The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative
companies from a pool of hundreds from across Europe. The nominees
are evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such
as financial performance, technology innovation, quality of
management, execution of strategy, and integration into their
respective industries. This honor is the latest in a steady stream
of awards and accolades Tufin has received over the past 18 months,
including numerous SC Magazine and Network Products Guide honors,
Information Week's Start-up 50, and CRN's Emerging Vendors.
"We are deeply honored to be named a finalist for the Red
Herring 100 Europe," said Ruvi Kitov, CEO, Tufin Technologies.
"Validation from such a prestigious organization is extremely
rewarding. It motivates us to work even harder to deliver high
value solutions that enable our customers to much more
cost-effectively and strategically manage network security policy
and change management."
Finalists for the 2010 edition of the Red Herring 100 Europe
award are selected based upon their technological innovation,
management strength, market size, investor record, customer
acquisition, and financial health. During the several months
leading up to the announcement, hundreds of companies in the
telecommunications, security, Web 2.0, software, hardware, biotech,
and clean tech industries sent in their submissions to qualify for
the award.
"This year was especially difficult," said Alex Vieux, publisher
and CEO of Red Herring. "Despite the global economic situation,
there were many great companies producing really innovative and
amazing products that we had a difficult time narrowing the pool
and selecting the finalists. Tufin shows great promise therefore
deserves to be among the Finalists."
Tufin is one of 200 finalists. With more than 500 customers
worldwide, Tufin has quickly established itself as the undisputed
Security Lifecycle Management market and thought leader. Tufin's
ongoing traction validates that the security, compliance and
operational improvements gained by automating firewall policy and
change management are widely recognized. Tufin's momentum in 2010
has been fueled in great part by it's ability to extend those
benefits to additional network infrastructure such as routers,
switches, and load balancers, providing security practitioners with
a cost effective, attainable strategy for improving network
security operations.
The Finalists are invited to present their winning strategies at
the Red Herring Europe Conference in Paris, May 25-27, 2010. The
Top 100 winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony on
May 27 at the event.
